Public factsGuideWell-owned TPA
GuideWell-owned TPA that builds custom self-funded plans for employers, hospital systems, and carrier back-office outsourcing.
Overview
WebTPA is a third-party administrator that started in 1993 consulting hospital health plans so employees could use their own facilities. It now designs custom plans and administers them for self-funded employers (including Fortune 500 and municipalities), hospital health systems, and insurance carriers that outsource claims and customer service. WebTPA is part of the GuideWell enterprise, a not-for-profit health solutions company. Public scale claims include 33 years of administration, 3.8+ million members, 7.1 million claims processed annually, and 100+ integrated vendor point solutions.
Why it matters It is a large GuideWell TPA known for custom and hospital-system plans and for carrier back-room outsourcing, not a one-network ASO clone.
